Prolonged Stay
At the Old Morrisville House,
NoRRISVILLE,
FROM MAY % UNTIL AUGUST


DR.. E. w. Royce, whose office is
now at the old Morrisville House,
Morrisville, VT, is meeting with great
success in this vicinity. He resorts
to no sham pufs, but furnishes liv-
ing witnesses of his great cures. Be-
low will be found few of the many
who are willing to testify to his great
powers of healing. Remember the
time is shortening in which to see this
great specialist. 1t costs nothing to
consult with him. He has already
had upwards of 400 patients since
coming here, and out of this great
number we have yet to hear one word
of fault. Read the following testi-
monials -
DIR. E. w. ROYCE:
Dear Sir.-I want to express my graft
tude that you ever came to st. Johnsbury.

and bowel trouble so that [ was often un-
fitted for business, and became greatly
reduced in flesh. All kinds OF medicine

Royce without much faith of his doing
me any good, as [ had been doctOring
with the doctors here and they only af-
forded me temporary relief. DR.. Royce
told me he could cure me, and he has
kept his word, as [ am now able to eat
anything and everything without its
hurting me, and can do any amount of
work easily. [ cheerfully recommend

A MarYeIous Success.

Last year the Ground Lake Sum-
mer School, opened within sixty days
of the conception of the whole work,
and $50 students, under the tuition of
enthusiastic professors and distln-
guished lecturers, gathered within its
grounds. The inspiration given to
educational work in general, and the
enthusiasm aroused among those in
attendance, caused several wealthy
friends of Round Lake to provide
magnificent buildings, at a cost of
100000, and on the opening ceremo-
MES, on the 18th, were participated
in by the representative men of the
nation who have become interested in
the wonderful growth Of this school.
Among them are now positively en-
gagged the Hon. William M. Evarts,
Hon. S. S. Cox, Director Censola,
the Rev. DR.. J. P. Newman, and
other brilliant speakers. Only men
and women of large experience and
established regulations as educators
are engaged in the ranks of the facul
ty and the lecture field. DR.. j. Fl.
Norman stands at the head Of the en-
terprise, and is its first and strongest
guarantee, bringing to it all the va
ried and combined advantages of his
brilliant career as professor of Ian
guages, author, compiler and editor.
His success last year vouches for the
future. An expenditure of from $50
to $50 will be ample to secure adyant-
ages well worth ten times their cost.
The teachers who 90 to Round Lake
to spend four weeks this summer will
gain better knowledge of their work,
broader preparation, new methods,
quickening influences, the inspiration
that only great teachers and born
leaders can give, all of which are well
worth reaching out after; but to these
they will add positive requirements
from books, for the Round lake Sum-
mer Schools are not only schools of
method, but of practice. The stu
dents will not only learn how masters
in the profession work, but TO do the
work themselves. One of the best
provisions is DIR. Worman's offer to
give free scholarship to any student
bringing five others to the Round Lake
school. The Troy Times is now
printing the Round Lake Journal,
which gives full information regarding
this attractive summer resort, and the
reductions in connection with railroad
travel, excursions and board granted
to the students of the summer school.
We can look for nothing but success
in an undertaking so carefully and so
wisely planned and conducted.

DFouth in the West.

The drouth in the northern and CEN
trail tiers of counties of Illinois is not
any more serious than it is in Wiscon-
sin. The Badger State is literally
burning up. Fruit and crops are
nearly destroyed and in some towns
water is so scarce that the authorities
have forbidden the sprinkling of the
streets. The great numbering towns
are as dry as a bone, and it would
take a spark and a high gale Of wind
only, tosrepeat the wild scenes when
the Peshtigo fires Of 81 drove thou
sands of people into the lake up to
their necks. All the streets of these
numbering towns are built of corduroy
and sawdust. In protracted drouth
like the present the beds of these
roads become as fine and as combust-
ible as powder. If Illinois is not Wis
tied by rain within the next ten days
the conflagration at Marshfield will be
repeated many times. Above Sheboy-
gan it is no uncommon sight these
days to see hundreds Of wild animals
cooling themselves in the waters of
the lake. Mark Fishback, of Me-
nasha declares that he saw at least a
hundred deer standing in the water 40
miles above Two Rivers. Reports
from North western Iowa say that the
drouth has been broken by refreshing
showers. For weeks previous to the
storm, masses were said in the Ger
man Catholic church of Carroll and
prayers were offered up in all the
places of worship. When the first
rain fell all the bells in the city were
rung, and at night the stores were il
Illuminated and there were displays of
pyrotechnics.

The Winooski saloon keepers are
at war with themselves, and are likely
to be their own exterminators. The
Free Press says -
For some time war has been brew
ing in camp among the saloon keepers
at Winooski, owing to jealousy, and
complaints have been freely signed by
the friends of the respective factions
for raids on the premises of their ri
walls. This has been going On for
some time and much bitterness of
feeling has quite naturally resulted.
The latest seizure of this kind was
that made on the premises of Domi-
nick Lawrence last week and the trial
of the case was held before Justice
Hood on Monday. The liquor was
adjudged forfeited and Charles Laque,
the bar-keeper, was fined $40 and
costs. Lawrence thought the contest
had gone about far enough and he
said he would agree to close his saloon
if prosecution for nuisance was not
begun. This was acceded to and he
at once notified eighteen other saloon
keepers that they must follow his ex-
ample or he would take steps to close
their establishments.
